#my fair lady 2018

[befickleforever]

thinking about how in the My Fair Lady west end version, they have Higgins sitting on the floor next to Eliza before ‘The Rain in Spain’ whereas in the earlier bway version he’s sat above her on the sofa. It’s about the deliberate choices.. having him sit next to her as her equal… the respect he shows her by lowering himself to her level physically… an act of love

I have no technical or social media literacy and I literally made the stupidest thing.

And thus begins my campaign to posthumously revoke Rex Harrison’s Tony and Oscar wins for his portrayal of Higgins, and give them to Harry Hadden-Paton instead.

Very well, let her go. I can do without her; I can do without anyone! I have my own soul! My own spark of divine fire!

They actually didn’t cut the Original Score category that year, instead they filled the nomination slots with 4 straight Plays that happened to have background music! 🙂

But let’s not forget where the American Theatre Wing REALLY had egg on their faces by having only 3 nominees (*the aforementioned jukebox musicals) for Best Musical and ONLY Aaron Tveit for Best Lead Actor in a Musical rather than acknowledge that The Lightning Thief existed at all! 🙂🙂🙂

[She’s 22 - 25 during this show so a good age for Rhaenyra during her marriage to Daemon.

She isn’t plus sized but she is “thick of waist” compared to the other actresses. She wears 14th century polish clothes.]

Chapter six of my incredibly trope-y Eliza and Henry fake courting story has been updated. The party arrives at Hart House. Jealousy and Jane Austen-esque shenanigans ensue. Give it a read! I have a beta reader now. :)

[icantopenwaterbottlecaps]

In anticipation of @pureanonofficial’s My Fair Lady stream this Friday, here’s a sketch of Laura Benanti as Eliza Doolittle that I cleaned up and coloured in.

I haven’t drawn Laura’s Eliza in three years so I’m rusty, but I hope it’s still okay.
